I Swear I Have This Written Down Somewhere

Does anyone have recommendations for good translations of the Iliad and Odyssey? Edit: Why do you like those translations in particular?

Also, the accepted spelling is Iliad with one (not two) "l"s, right?

The really good ones:
Stanley Lombardo
Richard Fagles

then maybe
Lattimore
Pope

See, I'd go with Lattimore over Fagles.

To both of you - why would you recommend the translations you prefer? Clarity? Elegance? Useful footnotes? Or other factors?
